Ever seen a welding Helmet? It's close to perfect for this. The helmet is held down by your forehead and swivels up and over. Maybe keep the helmet in tacked or slice off the front for lightweight and more airflow.

If anything, you could make a Moltar costume.

I made mine from a kind of paperclay/plaster. You can find it in craft stores, it comes in a kind of shredded pulp form, i think its called celluclay. You add water, then you can mold it. I bought a sheet of mesh wire, and built the shape on top of that. After letting it dry, i removed the mesh, sanded it down (alot), then used acrylic paints.

I attached it to my head with velcro straps along the sides and on the crown of my head, to keep it steady.
